problem building bitcoin on DragonFly

[phma]

I downloaded wxWidgets and compiled it (which took some hacking and a fix to one of the include files in world) and installed it. Then I tried to build Bitcoin and got this error:

g++ -c -O2 -Wno-invalid-offsetof -Wformat -g -D__WXDEBUG__ -D__WXGTK__ -DNOPCH -DFOURWAYSSE2 -DUSE_SSL -I"/usr/local/include/wx-2.9" -I"/usr/local/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-debug-static-2.9" -DGUI -o obj/util.o util.cpp

This is only the start of several screenfuls of errors ending with gmake giving up. Did I misinstall wxWidgets?

I also notice that makefile.unix has hardcoded paths in /usr/local/include/. If wxWidgets were installed as a package, the include files would be in /usr/include or /usr/pkg/include, depending on the package manager. Could you set the build process up with cmake or autotools so that they would find the right include paths?

I completely agree that it should use GNU autoconf or something similar.

In the meantime, you need to set two include paths for wxWidgets in makefile.unix; the first one you got right, but the second one isn't pointing at the correct directory.

Next problem: It's looking for wx/gtk/chkconf.h. It's actually wx/x11/chkconf.h. I'm going to symlink the directory and see if that works.

[phma]

It looks like I build wxWidgets wrong. I had to define __WXX11__ instead of __WXGTK__, and Bitcoin still doesn't compile.

[phma]

I had to change "#ifdef BSD" to "#ifdef SO_NOSIGPIPE" in net.cpp to get it to compile. According to Sascha Wildner, SO_NOSIGPIPE exists on FreeBSD, but not Net, Open, or DragonFly.

It compiled, but did not link. Here are the results:

You're trying dynamic linking, but there are no .so files? Something's wrong with your wxWidgets installation.

[phma]

I rebuilt wxWidgets, but still get the error. There are now so files, but not the one it's looking for. I configured it like this:

# ../configure --with-gtk --enable-shared

It outputs this:
